Amnesty International Slams FG Over School Attacks in Nigeria

Amnesty International has condemned the Nigerian authorities for failing to protect schoolchildren amid a wave of abductions in the North, including the recent kidnapping of 315 students and staff from St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools in Niger State. Country Director Isa Sanusi stated that the attacks underscore persistent security gaps and repeated government failures to learn from past incidents. Sanusi noted that over 230 Northern children are currently in captivity, while hundreds of schools in states like Katsina and Plateau remain closed due to attacks. He warned that many children, especially girls, have been forced out of school or married off for safety. Amnesty International accused authorities of neglect and called for urgent investigations into the attacks—potentially as war crimes or crimes against humanity—and for perpetrators to be prosecuted in fair trials. The group insists the right to […]

Institute Seeks Regulatory Commission to Fix Nigeria’s Ailing Courier, Logistics Sector

Professor Simon Emeje, Chairman of the Courier and Logistics Management Institute (CLMI), has called for the urgent establishment of an independent regulatory commission to reposition Nigeria’s courier and logistics industry. Despite being Africa’s largest economy, Nigeria is among less than 3% of countries without such independent regulation, leaving the industry plagued by inconsistent tariffs, conflicting policies, and a harsh business climate. Emeje warned that stagnant regulation forces firms to close or shift sectors and lamented overlapping controls from customs and other agencies. He emphasized the need for technical, not political, oversight and expanded professional training in logistics. He noted the sector’s economic potential (valued at $60 billion, with assets up to ₦20 trillion) and called for logistics education in universities. Emeje also highlighted the long-delayed regulatory bill, drafted in 2005 but never enacted, and urged Nigeria to boost intra-African trade […]
